Electrolysis

Our Practitioners:
Jill Bush

Electrolysis is the only proven, safe, permanent method of hair removal. The process of electrolysis involves the treatment or epilation of each individual hair. A sterile, disposable, thin wire filament, called a probe, that is the size of the diameter of a hair, is precisely inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle. No puncturing of the skin is involved.

A warming sensation is felt as the lower 2/3 of the hair follicle is destroyed via a very slight amount of controlled electrical current. This process destroys the hair root (dermal papilla), allowing the hair to be freed from the follicle wall. Tweezers are then used to slide the hair from the follicle.

A very quick warming sensation is felt which is slightly less than the intensity of a hair being tweezed. Minor discomfort should be expected. Treatments are performed within the pain tolerance of the client. Some clients are able to relax enough to fall asleep during treatment. Skin sensitivity is the determining factor.
